A bear cub was rescued after getting stuck in a tree on Tuesday in the area of Clear Creek.
According to the City of Golden, the bear had climbed high up a tree seeking safety after its mother was struck by a car. Wildlife officers used a tranquilizer to relax the bear so they could help it safely.
The cub, however, stayed wedged in the tree, so a firefighter climbed a ladder and carefully helped to bring it down with the use of a rope. The bear cub is now being taken care of Jefferson County Parks and Wildlife, “where it can grow strong and healthy.”…
